1. Copy the course repository to your device.

   Copy and run one of the following command blocks in a terminal. For help using a terminal, see Terminal Basics.

   • Bash Terminal

   mkdir -p "$HOME/Repos"
   git clone --origin upstream https://github.com/GC-STEM/crs000.git "$HOME/Repos/crs000"
   cd "$HOME/Repos/crs000"

   • PowerShell Terminal

   New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "$HOME/Repos" -Force | Out-Null
   git clone --origin upstream https://github.com/GC-STEM/crs000.git "$HOME/Repos/crs000"
   cd "$HOME/Repos/crs000"

2. Create a private copy of the course repository in your GitHub account.

   Do this step only once per course.

   In the same terminal, copy and run the following command block. The first command stars the GC-STEM repository so you can find it later. The second creates your private repository on GitHub.

   gh api --method PUT user/starred/GC-STEM/crs000
   gh repo create crs000 --private --source=. --remote=origin --push
   git remote -v

3. Connect with GC-STEM on GitHub.

   Already completed this step in a previous course? Skip this step.

   In the same terminal, copy and run the following command block.

   gh api graphql -f query='mutation($id:ID!){followOrganization(input:{organizationId:$id}){organization{login}}}' -f id="$(gh api orgs/GC-STEM --jq .node_id)"
